Beer, euphoria and rituals in ancient Egypt
Presented by Glyptoteket
COPENHAGEN BEER WEEK at the Glyptoteket
On the occasion of COPENHAGEN BEER WEEK 2023, Glyptoteket welcomes you to an evening dedicated to beer. The evening begins with a tour where we take a closer look at the role of beer in ancient Egypt.
Afterwards, you will enjoy a dinner inspired by ancient Egypt, in the museum's café, Picnic, with a view of the beautiful and atmospheric Winter Garden.
Without beer, according to a popular myth, there would have been no ancient Egyptians. Beer played a vital role among both gods and men. On the tour, we examine the cultural history of beer and the significance of intoxication for daily life along the Nile. Along the way, we delve into the museum's Egyptian collection, which contains both hieroglyphic inscriptions about offerings of '1000 jars of beer' and remains of grain from a burial equipment, which of course had its own brewery.
WHEN
At 17.30, 18.00 and 19.00.
Each tour lasts approx. 25 minutes and there is room for 35 people on each tour.
